Reading List
Books That Changed How I See Things
Not therapy books, exactly, though some are. Just the ones that shifted something for me personally.
Man's Search for Meaning
The one I recommend when someone's asking "what's the point of any of this." Frankl earned the right to write it.
When Things Fall Apart
Permission to not have it together. I return to this one during hard seasons.
The Untethered Soul
The chapter on not being your thoughts rewired something for me.
Daring Greatly
Vulnerability as strength, not weakness. Foundational.
The Gifts of Imperfection
Shorter and gentler than Daring Greatly, a good place to start with her work.
Atomic Habits
Less philosophical, very practical. Good for people who want a plan, not just a feeling.
The Four Agreements
Simple almost to a fault, but I still think about "don't take anything personally" weekly.
Big Magic
About creativity, but really about fear. Fun, warm read.
Braiding Sweetgrass
Not a self-help book at all, and somehow one of the most healing things I've read.
Radical Acceptance
Buddhist psychology meets real self-compassion. I recommend this constantly.
Curious what these ideas look like in practice? They shape a lot of how I work with clients. Get in touch if you'd like to talk.
